I am trying to install Nominatim from its source on github. PostgreSQL 9.1 and PostGIS 2 has already been installed using yum. The system is running CentOS 6.3 with cPanel.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/twain47/Nominatim.git
cd Nominatim
./autogen.sh

Problem: This is when the error occurs as shown below. Any suggestions/idea how this can be fixed? Thanks!!!

autoreconf: Entering directory `.'

This Perl hasn't been configured and built properly for the threads
module to work.  (The 'useithreads' configuration option hasn't been used.)

Having threads support requires all of Perl and all of the XS modules in
the Perl installation to be rebuilt, it is not just a question of adding
the threads module.  (In other words, threaded and non-threaded Perls
are binary incompatible.)

If you want to the use the threads module, please contact the people
who built your Perl.

That is not the version of perl which comes with CentOS.

From looking at the output, it seems you have a second version of perl installed in /usr/local and was built by God-only-knows-who. It also appears to be a pretty minimalist version of perl.

As I mentioned before, you really should start over with a CentOS box that hasn't been corrupted by whatever breakage cPanel applies. You will continue to run into problems that are difficult to solve, as long as you use it.

Anyway, try removing /usr/local/bin from your PATH and then building the program. This should ensure that the locally installed Perl doesn't get run, and the system Perl (which works correctly) gets used instead.

  • Thanks for the suggestion. Removing /usr/local/bin from /etc/bashrc followed by running bash did not solve the problem. Removing cPanel is a good idea, but that will mean I lose the managed support from the hosting company.

  • Oh, you have management, eh? They broke it; make them fix it. Sep 10, 2012 at 5:57
  • I have submitted a support ticket regarding this issue. Been learning alot trying to fix things myself before giving up and asking them for help.
